I never know if I should or not.

When I do, it feels odd, but I would feel guilty not

Paid £6 for a cut today and didn't leave a tip, but this is mainly because they short changed me last time (but that was probably accidentally). I felt kind of guilty as I left.

The issue doesn't arise for me, as what hair I do have, is cut to 3mm using my electric trimmer. :)

However I always used to, but then so would most of us, as she was a little cracker. :)

I voted yes. The only way I'm kept well informed on this tiny island. Informed as to who is doing what to who and where :-rofl2

NB .. thread reported to the European Court of Human Rights. Grounds? Inequality toward our lady members :eek:

I Wahl my head every 5 or 6 weeks I set it to no 1 start at the Adams apple (as I have a beard also) and go all the way over the top (which is thinning slightly) and continue until complete, usually takes four minutes. One day when I have some time I will work out how much I have saved over the years

nb my avatar is not that far from the truth, as others already know

Well I am sure that nobody is surprised by that statement, why else would a Brummie go living in Scotland apart from to protect his pocket :cool:
